Astronomers predict the appearance
Of the Star of Bethlehem" again this
year for the sixth time since the birth
of Christ. This star was discovered by
TychO Brahe in 1872, and from the re-
corded facts of its previous appearance
in the 10th and 18th centuries it was
believed by wise men to be the star
that shown upon the shepherds, and
went before them and stood over the
place where the young child was.
This is said to appear directly north of
the north star, and to be visible in its
dazzling light at noon day. It is So

From Brahstree's Journal we learn
that the number of people killed by
railroad last year was 416. The number
of passenger transported was over 35O,-
100000. From these figures it will be
seen that the danger of being killed by
travel on railroads is scarcely greater
than by staying at home. In proper
ton to the number of people using cars
and private cOnveyances, there are
more people killed by runaway teams
than the railroads.

The nomination of Captain A. w.
Greedy as Chief Signal Officer with the
rank Of Brigadier-General is a we'll
deserved recognition of patriotic and
scientific services. Arctic exploration
has not been looked upon with much
favor at Washington since the wreck of
the Jeanette and the heartrending
scenes at Starvation Camp, Cape Sa-
bine; but this officers achievements
and sacrifices rest on a different basis
from the ordinary claims of polar ad-
ventures. He went to Lady Franklin
Bay on a scientific errand under in
structions from the United States Gov
ernmenr. In circumstances of unpar-
alleled difficulty and peril he per-
formed his duty to his Government and
to the men under his charge with a
spirit of loyal devotion and infexible
courage that has ! rarely been paral-
leled. Captain Greely's scientific at
tainments and familiarity with the
routine Of the Office fully justify his
promotion to this important place. The
President deserves credit for making
SO admirable a nomination. General
Greedy will have the hearty congratu-
latiOns of all Americans sympathizing
with him in the terrible misfortunes
with which his arctic service was
finally beset.

Sir John was so much the counterpart
of Disraeli that when, in 1878, the Cana

gagged concerning my father is this :
Every day 1 devote an hour or more to

band.
The Marquis of AlmanzOva, whose
income is $2,OOO,OOO year, was a span
ish miner thirty years ago working for
thirty cents day. He is the John w.
Mackey, of Spain.
Congressman George West, of New
York, was born near Exeter England.
He made the first water-lined law
paper ever produced in this country on
a machine.
Carter Henry Harrison, Mayor of
Chicago, is a descendant of Richard
Harrison, Cromwel's lieutenant, who
led Charles I to the block. Carter is
nobody's blockhead, however.
The great parliamentarian of the

died recently, but from her receives his
